Detroit — All season long, Tigers fans could point to the not-so-distant past for a little relief: Well, it’s not as bad as 2003.

The Tigers closed the worst home season in franchise history on Thursday afternoon with another sweep, falling to mostly backups of the American League Central Division champion Minnesota Twins 10-4, closing Comerica Park at 22-59, one game worse than the 2003 squad.
The Tigers already had avoided becoming the first MLB team with 60 home losses, and went as bad at home as the 1939 St.
